Okay, now I understand what you were planning with the pressure 
switch.

The problem is that this kind of system simply turns on X cc/sec of 
additional fuel. This might be a perfect amount when the engine is 
putting out 130 power strokes a second, but much too much gas at 
low RPM and 20 power strokes per second.

You'd still have the same problem, however, that the extra NITRO 
was not delivered in proportion to the air or RPM.

I wonder you could PWM drive the injector in proportion to the 
RPM?

OTOH, why not just turn up the fuel pressure? If you do this, you 
get to take advantage of the fact that the ECU has already taken 
RPM and air flow into account and you get a mixture that is richer 
by the same % throughout its range.
